Cummings’ £1m switch to Forest will boost Hearts

Jason Cummings’ £1 million switch from Hibs to Nottingham Forest will see Hearts land a fivefigure payout.

Under Fifa regulations, the clubs who played a part in a player’s development are due a ‘solidarity payment’ from any transfer fee.

Cummings was on the books of the Jambos between the ages of 11 and 16, meaning Hearts are due 1% of the sum paid to the Hibees.

It has been widely reported that Mark Warburton has shelled out £1m for the prolific front-man, meaning their city rivals will bank £10,000.

Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale will also make £5,000 due to the one goal-laden season he spent with Hutchie in 2012/13 following his release by the Tynecastle outfit.

Cummings ultimately joined Hibs in the summer of 2013 went on to bag 69 goals in 148 games.

Jason Cummings has left Hibs in £1m deal.
